For about 4 months I'd been trying to find someone who could make a small scoop to fit on the side of the car to allow me to get air-filters on. I tried [url]PPS|http://www.modifiedatpps.co.uk[/url] but whilst Peter was a top chap and willing to help, he couldn't get anything off-the-shelf to fit. I went through as many fabricators as there was in the phone book but couldn't find anyone capable of doing the work and those that could (the Aston Workshop) were going to charge £1550 and that was with a discount!

Thanks to Andy (bomb) I was given the number to a fella called Robbie who runs a customising bussiness on Red Barnes Way, Darlington who had my car the past week and has put on a custom scoop made out of Aluminum covered in fibreglass, resprayed the bonnet & side panel and cut 4 10mm slots in the bonnet to aid cooling and truthfully I cannot fault the work he has done. The best part is it only cost £100!

If anyone wants his number, feel free to contact me - Robbie comes with full recommendation from me (who is a bit of perfectionist when other people get near my car) and from Andy's mate Neil.

With the extra width, does that mean you could fit a proper engine in there - an engine that starts with 'V' prehaps?

Hi Stefan. Looks like Robbie did a very nice job for you there.

Must get to see it in the flesh soon.

A lot cheaper than the Aston garage eh !

Glad to see you are happy with it
